So I had to come on here and share my joy.
As some may know, I grew up skiing Mount Snow, and this summer I came up to house sit and ended up getting a teaching job at Mount Snow and moving to Wilmington, Vermont.
Today was my first day on the mountain in over 30 years.
It was also my first time on the newer, shorter skis.
And.... it was so damned awesome!! ⛷
I had gotten new boots this past week, the Technica Machs but they really hurt my toes the first run, so I went to our bootfitter Nick, who informed me I was in the totally wrong size. He switched me out to a Nordica and it was all systems go from there.
When I road up I felt my parents with me, and I was choked up the whole way. Once I got up and looked at the view it's like I never left.
I kept it simple and took two easy Long John runs down, but it's like it never went away, I smiled the whole way down.
I feel like I met some great life challenge I didn't even know I was meeting, and I am so happy right now. It just proves you are never too old to do what you love.
Thank you for letting me gush. I am so psyched that I work where I play, and it's only November!!
Hope to meet some of you if you ever come to Mount Snow!
Peace.
